Resumo
A presente pesquisa tem como pressuposto o fato que as desigualdades entre mulheres e homens ocorrem cotidianamente e, geralmente, são naturalizadas definindo o espaço privado para o sexo feminino e o espaço público para o sexo masculino. A esfera política é um desses espaços considerados de difícil acesso para as mulheres, haja vista a presença feminina na 55ª Legislatura da Câmara dos Deputados que representa apenas 9,9%, ou seja, das 513 cadeiras existentes, foram eleitas apenas 51 mulheres. Somado a esse cenário, verifica-se atualmente no Congresso brasileiro um movimento político de segmentos religiosos, dentre os quais se destaca a bancada evangélica, que tem se mostrado contrária a bandeiras feministas e a questões de gênero de maneira mais ampla. Entretanto, é interessante notar que, dentro do escopo das deputadas evangélicas (12 deputadas), três delas se assumem como negras e parecem, até o presente momento, estar atuando com mais proposições voltadas aos temas referentes aos direitos das mulheres e promoção da igualdade racial do que suas colegas evangélicas. São elas Benedita da Silva – PT/RJ; Rosângela de Souza Gomes PRB/RJ e Eronildes Vasconcelos Carvalho (Tia Eron) (PRB/BA). Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar a atuação congressual das atuais deputadas federais evangélicas negras no período de 2015 a 2017, atentando para a forma como articulam sua trajetória de vida e procedência religiosa com seu agir político, especialmente no tocante a projetos voltados para gênero e raça/etnia. Analisar as histórias destas mulheres nos leva a considerar a importância desta pesquisa do ponto de vista da interseccionalidade de gênero, raça/etnia, classe e religião. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados envolvem levantamento documental sobre a história de vida das parlamentares, sua atuação social, política e religiosa, informações cedidas pelo gabinete das deputadas e entrevistas com cada uma delas.
The purpose of the present study is to point out that inequalities between women and men occur on a daily basis and, in general, are seen as natural. That defines private space for women and public space for men. The political sphere is one of the spaces considered difficult for women to access, in view of the fact that women’s presence at the 55th Legislature of the Chamber of Deputies represents only 9,9%. In other words, out of the 513 current seats only 51 women were elected. Furthermore, presently it has been noticed at the Brazilian Congress a political move from religious segments among which we must point out the evangelical bench that has been against feminism and gender issues in a broader way. However, it is worth noticing that among evangelical congresswomen (12 representatives), three of them see themselves as black women, and it seems that until now they have been working with more proposals aiming at topics related to women’s right and promotion of racial equity than their fellow evangelicals. They are: Benedita da Silva – PT/RJ; Rosângela de Souza Gomes PRB/RJ, and Eronildes Vasconcelos Carvalho (Tia Eron) (PRB/BA). The present research intends to study the congressional actions of the current black evangelical federal deputies from 2015 to 2017. We studied the way they relate their lives and religious background to their political actions, mainly in what concerns projects regarding gender and race/ethnicity. Analyzing those women’s stories leads us to consider the importance of this study under the viewpoint of gender, race/ethnicity, class intersectionality, and religion. The methodological procedures comprise document survey of these congresswomen’s life story, their social, political and religious action; information was provided by the federal deputies’ office, and interviews were held with each one of them.
